E-Business Development : A Strategic View

Abstract

E-business is becoming increasingly important for countries, organizations and individuals, as it gives them efficiency, and as it integrates them together, and with the world at large. This paper aims at providing a strategic view of the development of e-business. It starts by identifying e-business, and by reviewing its current progress. It then presents an e-business development profile, that defines the various elements associated with it. Based on the profile, the paper then provides future development guidelines, and identifies recommended plans.
